A mixture of seemingly disparate genres together. After all, if two genres are already awesome on their own, then combining them will result in something even more awesome, right? Well, maybe, if you get the balance between the genres just right. Otherwise, you risk having an Uncertain Audience or Audience-Alienating Premise: a Romantic Action Comedy flick could attract both Action fans and Romantic Comedy enthusiasts, but it's just as likely that the elements of one genre will turn away fans of the other. For works which use multiple, disparate genres without actually mixing them together, see Genre Roulette. Compare to Recycled In Space where a new genre may be pasted onto an existing story. If a character is this instead of a story, see Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot. If a character from one genre ends up in the setting of another, see Genre Refugee. Compare and contrast with Genre-Busting, where a work fits into no genres rather than multiple. See also X Meets Y and Hybrid Genre. May involve Anachronism Stew. |

Adventure Time is a comedy in a world that's mostly fantasy, but where science fiction elements are almost as common. It also has plenty of horror elements and, as the series goes on, a lot of drama as the characters' motivations and back stories are revealed. It also occasionally turns into a supernatural survival drama, whenever certain characters' back stories come up. | |

For its first two chapters, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog is a musical, superhero deconstruction, romantic comedy about a wannabe mad scientist supervillain and his attempts at gaining power (frequently detailed, of course, in his video blog). Then the last chapter ends with elements of classic tragedy, the only remotely sweet and sympathetic character dying in the most gut-wrenching, Whedon-specialty way possible. The montage that follows, however, still includes some brutally funny moments. | |

Sluggy Freelance started out as simply a Fantastic Comedy, then (while still keeping comedy a staple) started playing Genre Roulette with soap operatic drama, epic fantasy/science-fiction, spy stories, horror, film noir, and so on. However, thanks to the constantly accumulating continuity, story elements introduced while handling one genre will still be around when another genre takes the foreground, creating some weird combinations. Like sci-fi epic "Oceans Unmoving" having a lead character who's a Talking Animal that went to war with Santa Claus. Or the wacky adventure of "A Time for Hair-raising" drawing upon Torg's past as an action hero and Gwynn's past as a victim of Demonic Possession. Or the dark, brutal story told in "Fire and Rain" still having a Zoe-gets-turned-into-a-camel gag. | |

The Dragon Doctors blends a bunch of different possible genres into one. It's about magical doctors solving weird problems in a fantastic setting that nonetheless resembles a lot of modern-day life, but the doctors spend as much time fighting evil as adventurers as they spend time as healers, plus there are plenty of slice-of-life moments mixed in to even out the pace. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's very dark. Transformation is rampant but it's far from the actual point of the comic, unlike most Transformation Comics; instead, it's just a consequence of the magical setting. Emotional healing is given as much priority as physical healing, too, unlike most Patient of the Week deals. | |

At first blush, Usagi Yojimbo is a pretty standard samurai story. Albeit one starring an anthropomorphic bunny. Then the ghosts and ghouls start showing up, then it veers into a pure detective story, then slice-of-life, almost Edutainment, in/about Shogunate Japan, and even tragedy raw enough to draw tears. It's an interesting series. | |

Wild C.A.T.s (WildStorm): While Wild C.A.T.s Version 3.0 is technically a super-hero comic, there aren't many super-heroics, and the titular team isn't even assembled until the last story arc. It is also very philosophical, topics ranging from questioning if a corporation can be truly good, to how far people will go to maintain the status quo or adapt to new situations. | |

Problem Sleuth and Homestuck of MS Paint Adventures are both very difficult to classify. They're online comics, except that the readers basically choose the direction stuff moves in (at least originally; Homestuck's readership grew too large for this early on). Homestuck in particular ping-pongs between a Satire/Parody/Pastiche, other comedy elements, Slice of Life, and a (fairly) serious epic fantasy/sci-fi Myth Arc that draws heavily from Eastern RPGs and creation myths. The creator however does say that despite the Cerebus Syndrome, it is and always will be a predominantly comedic series. Homestuck is even Medium Busting. It's primarily a comic consisting of images above text boxes containing dialogue, but also includes gifs, extensive animated sequences, a few flash-based interactive point-and-click sequences where the reader/player can control one of the main characters directly — one part Interactive Comic, one part game, one part novel, one part animation, one part puzzle, one part something else? It's impossible to define, with the official designation having settled on "thing". | |

Grimjack covers a whole lot of genres. Its protagonist is a cross between Sam Spade and Conan the Barbarian who lives in a city at the center of the multiverse populated by, among other things, humans, robots, talking animals, ghosts, and vampires. Magic works in some parts of the city, technology in others, some places have both and others neither. Ostrander said he was inspired by Doctor Who's ability to tell any kind of story it wanted, which is true of Grimjack without it being very much like Doctor Who at all. | |

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc could initially be described as a Visual Novel courtroom adventure game ala the Ace Attorney series, mixed in with some Social Link elements from the latter two Persona games. Only the courtroom scenes also regularly feature minigames with lightgun-style shooter and rhythm game elements where you literally shoot down your classmate's arguments. The story is also a mix of Ace Attorney's own murder mystery/courtroom drama combination and Battle Royale-style thriller with some (allegedly) post-apocalyptic elements showing up near the end. | |

Steven Universe is a superhero show as the Crystal Gems protect humanity from monsters with unique powers and weapons that have a well-defined system, many themes and fantasy elements give it a Magical Girl flavor while not specifically conforming to genre standards as technically none of the Gems are what you'd call girls and don't transform from a mundane form. It's a romance story as emotional bonds between characters are a core theme of the show with Pearl and Greg's love for Rose Quartz, the fusion between Ruby and Sapphire, and Steven and Connie's mutual attraction shape many events of the series. It's also a lighthearted comedy with many surreal and silly moments with a lot of character-based humor, that is when it's not a dark drama with a disproportionate amount of Body Horror and psychological complexity with flashbacks to a war story set within a Space Opera setting. The show dedicates many episodes to cute Slice of Life situations that sometimes disguise a complex backstory and mystery about Rose's secrecy and past. So it's a comedic, Animesque Slice of Life romantic dark horror Coming of Age Story as the Magical Boy protagonist protects the Earth against aliens that frequently include musical numbers and sexual themes. | |

Centaurworld has this as its basic premise: what if a character from an action cartoon got stuck in a comedy cartoon? To be more precise, what if a young soldier's horse from a Low Fantasy world in the grips of war is flung headfirst into a colorful Sugar Bowl world where they now have the ability to talk and must contend with the surreal natives who operate on Toon Physics and barely take anything seriously? It is later revealed that the two worlds used to be connected, with further backstory reveals making it clear that this separation has only been a few decades at the most. | |

Romeo and Juliet was the first play to combine the idea of comedies and tragedies. In a typical comedy, there are young lovers who live Happily Ever After.

07th Expansion's next big work Rose Guns Days is part Film Noir, part slice-of-life, part political drama, and part… something. While it is far from the Mind Screwy Deconstructor Fleet Umineko was, the work is still hard to classify, especially considering its rather schizophrenic tone − sometimes light-hearted, sometimes dark and cynical… in some cases in the same scene. | |

Wapsi Square describes itself as a "slice of supernatural life" comic, but it is a bit more complicated than that. For starters, there's the save the world plotline without any antagonist. Then there is the protagonist's constant attempts to convince herself and those around her that the comic is actually on the other side of Clark's Third Law (she gives up eventually). It's rather hard to explain. | |

The Tsukipro franchise — what started as an ostensibly ordinary Idol Singer anime — albeit with Anthropomorphic Personification boy bands based on the months of the year — has become a Fantasy Kitchen Sink multiverse, where the plays performed by the idols bleed into reality. The main-setting (supposedly Slice of Life) idol characters not only end up Trapped in Another World so often they get used to it, a few of them also have supernatural powers even in the real world. While the stage plays have always gone head-first into fantasy, the anime series stayed in the Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane territory until the 4th season, when the Yōkai world characters appeared... | |

Garfield Minus Garfield involves taking old Garfield strips and removing every character except Jon Arbuckle, leading to a bizarre, Dadaist portrayal of him as a bipolar/schizophrenic loner. Especially strange since each source comic can have only one possible outcome, making it a constrained webcomic. | |

Teen Titans is a superhero action cartoon whose animation is often more inspired by Tex Avery or the weirder side of Anime than anything in U.S. Comic Books, yet often has very dark, dramatic storylines and, on a few occasions, will have an episode focus almost entirely on character interactions, with the obligatory supervillain battle relegated to a minor B-plot. | |

Fate/stay night is an action Urban Fantasy combined with some horror and thriller elements, as well as a romance and some Slice of Life, set in a Constructed World with a heavily detailed magic system. A high schooler finds himself thrown into a battle royale, where seven Mages summon their own Servant — a superpowered figure from history or myth — to compete in a Secret War, and depending on the route, the main character either falls in love with his own Servant (a romance centered on the conflict between one's duty and one's needs, including love), his ally (a Friends To Lovers story), or his longtime friend (a horror story about protecting loved ones from the evils of the world). | |

Shadowrun is a universe about life after the Mega Corps started to gather power, nations breaking up, and two plagues taking off the top quarter of the population. This happens to the backdrop of the Awakening, where many children were born as Elves and Dwarves, Native Americans becoming the first group to manifest magic, about 10% of the population painfully "Goblinized" into Orks and Trolls, and claimed sightings of dragons. Shadowrun First Edition was set in the 2050's, after all the insanity started to calm down into an Urban Fantasy/Cyberpunk world with some Dungeon Punk for flavor. The only significant change since then is that the "punk" part is less prominent. | |

El Goonish Shive crosses a few. It starts out like a comedic slice-of-life comic, quickly adds sci-fi and drama, then fantasy, then it retcons the sci-fi into fantasy. Currently it's kind of a mix of the lot. And weird. | |

While Welcome to Night Vale perhaps has a leg up in this regard due to it being in the unconventional medium of a radio-drama, its genre could perhaps be best described as a slice-of-life comedy horror with healthy dose of science fiction and romance. | |

Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair takes all this, adds a snowboarding-esque minigame to the pool of trial minigames (don't ask; it's weird even for Dangan Ronpa), and then adds on top of all the plot elements from the previous game everything in the game taking place in a VR simulation. | |

Survival of the Fittest, just like Battle Royale, the work that inspired it, is pretty much impossible to place in one genre. A class of students being abducted and forced to kill each other with very close attention to their personal experiences has led to a rather diversive mix of horror, action, romance and even comedy, all thanks to the multitude of different writing styles that occurs with so many authors in one place. | |

There is a classic story about the first two productions of The Cherry Orchard by Anton Chekhov. The first production was very sad and melancholic, and the audience left the theater deeply moved. The second production? The audience was laughing so hard the walls shook. So which is it, comedy or tragedy? None can say (though Word Of God claims comedy). | |

In the South Park episode "Christian Rock Hard", the four main characters' band Moop has, by their admission, elements of jazz fusion, Latin jazz, hip-hop, and R&B, while the one song they're heard playing sounds more garage-rock. | |

The Legend of Korra is generally described along the lines of "Urban Fantasy mixed with action genre", or "a sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender several decades down the timeline". But, it is rare for urban fantasy to be set in a full-blown Constructed World, and only in the first season the show's actually confined to an urban environment. The overall aesthetic and background details resemble Diesel Punk, but unlike for (what currently passes for) the genre standards, the centrality of the supernatural element moves it at least as close to Dungeon Punk. And as a Sequel Series, it retains the Supernatural Martial Arts and messianic hero as crucial parts of the franchise, in spite of them better suited for the old epic fantasy format. Altogether, the series could qualify as honorary member of New Weird movement, but even then breaking the stale genre conventions wasn't ever the point — which leads us back to defining its genre by its relation to the original series. | |

Rifts is set in a universe that has gone through culture-changing advances in science, an apocalypse, a return of magic, an alien invasion, and a tearing of the space-time continuum that in the core book alone you can play as a genetically manipulated super-soldier, anthropomorphic dog, psychic warrior, cyborg, techno's-wizard, dragon, or hobo, just to name a few. | |

Even Don Giovanni, an Italian opera written in an essentially classic form and style, shatters conventional dramatic structures. There's no hero, the Anti-Hero Jerkass protagonist(?) dies, the alpha couple doesn't get married, and one of the few sympathetic characters is too weak-willed to do anything but be a menial serf to some other entitled creep. Neither tragedy nor comedy, it's just sorta there. | |
